Topic: Muurla / Kauko Makinen (Read 1928 times)

Recently acquired a wall-mounted candleholder, labeled for Muurla and signed "Kauko Makinen" - but I've Googled the name and all I can come up with an apparently ground-breaking Finnish dentist/biochemist. Any clues?

Having a little trouble getting a photograph set up, as it's an awkward shape/design to capture - so bear with me on that front.

It seems the designers (2000-2004) are Ristomatti Ratia, Johanna Oras and Tommy Tabermann. Kauko Makinen is not mentioned in the "Finnish Glass Lives" book which has all the designers & glassmakers.maybe their website will reveal more: www.muurlanlasi.comgood luck
